What is NASA Transition?

NASA Transition Definition:• The careful planning, optimized

utilization, and responsive disposition of personnel, processes, resources, and real and personal property, focused upon leveraging existing Shuttle and ISS assets for Exploration programs’ safety and mission success

A Continuum of Transition and Recurring Development to Operations Iterations:

– Space Shuttle Program Transition & Retirement (T&R)

– ISS Program Shuttle Transition and Retirement (STaR)

– Constellation Transition(s) from Development to Operations

– Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) Transition

NASA Transition Driving Paradigm Changes

• Focus Change: NASA is moving our HSF workforce from Shuttle and ISS operations work to CxP design and development; Will spend the same amount on skilled labor, but with an emphasis on design of new vehicles to explore beyond low earth orbit. Leaner Across the Board, More Development

• Reduce Fixed & Ops Costs: New vehicles must cost less to operate, or we cannot afford to develop the vehicles to explore beyond earth orbit. Must drop production, processing and operations costs.

• Geographical & Skill Shifts: Regional workforce impacts of shifting from “vehicle processing” and “operations” to DDTE are becoming clearer. Reducing the impacts to specific regions will require assignment of specific Constellation development, test & manufacturing as Shuttle is completed.

• Budget Threat: Still defining post Shuttle Fly-Out asset disposition work --Funds spent on Shuttle T&R come from Exploration DDTE. Asset Disposition costs to be minimized.

Transition Is About Re-Invention and Re-Invigoration of NASA

11

Transition and the Workforce

• Unique Challenges:– Retaining Skills for Shuttle Operations to Safely Execute Remaining Shuttle Missions; and– Managing Transition of Appropriate Shuttle Workforce into Constellation Development; and– Retaining Skills during Gap to Safely Execute Constellation IOC Flight Operations (2010-15)

– Balancing “10 Healthy Centers” with Program Requirements drive Workforce and Skill Needs

• NASA is Committed to Transitioning as Much of the Shuttle Civil Service Workforce to Other Agency Programs as is Practical, Using Strategies such as:

– Workforce Sharing, Matrixing, Detailing. Retraining, Skills Assessment and Org Matching• NASA is Committed to Working with Shuttle Contractor Partners on Workforce Issues.

– Industry has a Range of Transition, Retention, and Staffing Tools Available to Maintain Critical Skills to Meet their Contractual Obligations Required for Shuttle Mission Execution.

– Unique to Each Contractor Situation and their Known Role in Future Constellation Work

• Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF)– Primary structure manufacturing– Composite and metal fabrication– Planned Users: Orion, Ares I Upper

Stage, Ares V Earth Departure Stage, Ares V Core Stage, COTS

• KSC / Pad 39B– Launch Pad and Support

Facilities– Lightning Protection System

NASA Transition SummaryNASA Transition Summary

• Transition is Challenging, Complex, and Dynamic – Integration is Key!• Plans & Estimates Continue to Mature – Coordination is Key!

– NASA Transition Plan– Workforce Transfer & Allocation– Facility Transfer/Disposal on Target– Personal Property Disposition (Transfer and Excess)

• FY11+ Workforce, Shuttle Property Excess, Facility Gap budgets remain Threat – FY 2010 President’s Budget is target for incorporation of revised T&R Budget– Post-Shuttle Workforce skill needs will shift -- We are preparing– Major facilities are transitioning today – Substantial progress already– Longer “Gap” = Greater difficulty in mitigating workforce impacts

• NASA will Generally Spend Same Amount on Labor Nation-wide, but Change of Emphasis Toward Development of New Exploration Systems

• Transition Workforce Mapping Data: Good – Communication is Key!

NASA is not going out of Business, rather, Transition Enables a New Line of NASA Business for the Next 30-50 Years.
